Sustainable Beauty: Harnessing the Power of Soursop Seeds for Skincare

03 Jan 2025

A team from SP is pioneering the upcycling of soursop seeds—typically discarded as agricultural waste—into valuable skincare ingredients. Through cold-press extraction, they obtain soursop seed oil rich in antioxidants, which offers potential benefits such as hydration, brightening, and anti-aging effects. Supported by SPs funding, mentorship opportunities, and industry connections, the team collaborates with entities like TK Biofarm to refine their extraction process. Their goal is to introduce a sustainable, natural ingredient to the cosmetic industry, promoting environmental responsibility and reducing waste. This initiative aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 11, aiming to create sustainable cities and communities by transforming waste into valuable resources.
